Anything goes, so long as you

1. produce something to be performed or otherwise shared during class time
2. demonstrate your ability to engage creatively and critically with a literary text from our syllabus
3. articulate your goals and a meaningful way of assessing your achievement
4. reflect on your accomplishment (quoting from responses you receive from your classmates)

In the past, students have filmed video skits, written original short stories and poetry, or published research on their weblogs. Every year I suggest interpretive dance, but so far nobody has actually done it.

Depending on class size, everyone will have about five minutes. If you double up with a partner, the two of you will share 10 minutes.
